adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I loved reading this. I can see the parallels people have made with this and The Kingkiller Chronicles too.

I think my only qualm with this story was that it was released in 2021/22 and it lacks any queer characters!! There were perfect opportunities to have some queerness in there, both for the main character and for background characters and there were none which was disappointing. Apart from that though, a very good read! I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
